First opening in 2011, this Austin-based smoothie bar has grown quite a bit since then. JuiceLand's Matt Shook has opened many locations throughout Austin, Dallas, and Houston. JuiceLand's nourishment goes beyond great food, stretching into maintaining a healthy environment and giving back to the community. JuiceLand's smoothies never include sugar or ice and come in 100% composting-friendly packaging.

JuiceLand values are creating a fun, welcoming, energetic, refreshing, mindful, and exceptional environment for its customers and staff. The locations throughout Austin are bright, welcoming, and whimsical in their design style. Some locations offer energetic murals spanning entire walls, while others project a cool, confident, laid-back vibe that is sure to follow you home.

In 2001, Shook premiered his first special, the Originator. It includes apples, bananas, blueberries, cherries, peanut butter, brown rice protein, and spirulina. It'll work to fill you up, support immunity, and provide a healthy dose of antioxidants. The Wundershowzen smoothie is one of the most popular smoothies JuiceLand offers. It's a blend of almond milk, banana, hemp protein, and peanut butter, offering a protein boost and a delicious superfood boost. If you're searching for that morning pick me up, the Morning Sunshine may be just the ticket with pineapple, orange, banana, mango, goji berry, and local bee pollen.

Jumba got its start in 1990 as a college project by Kirk Perron, a student at California Polytechnic State University. Over the next several decades, the concept grew and even reached 800 locations across the country. As the untold truth of Jamba Juice histories, Herron originally got the idea for Jamba after becoming a frequent flyer to a juice shop called Blazing Blender.

Though there are certainly Jamba favorites that have been around since the beginning, it is constantly innovating new recipes to treat customers. For example, Jamba offers a smoothie called Pumpkin Smash during the fall. This delightful fall smoothie includes milk, frozen yogurt, and a pumpkin spice base. Customers can also choose to switch out the cow's milk for popular dairy alternatives and oat milk frozen dessert to make this one vegan friendly. The Mango-a-Go-Go would be a great pick for something popular and delightfully tropical. This one has a tropical juice blend, mangoes, and pineapple sherbet.

This juice and smoothie bar started small in 2010 with only 25 square feet of storefront. Now, Pressed has a great line of juice cleanses and smoothies with an online store and brick-and-mortar shops, with a couple located in Austin. You can purchase bottles of juices and cleanses at the in-store location, but you can also pick up a freshly made smoothie.

The Strawberry Orange Mango Smoothie is a delicious blend of fruit with a healthy dose of Vitamin C to help boost your immune system. The Avocado Smoothie with Greens could become your go-to if you're a matcha lover. With greens like spinach and kale, this smoothie also includes matcha, bananas, and avocados for a deliciously smooth taste. Pressed's Chocolate Banana Protein Smoothie is the perfect choice if you're looking to power through your day with a bit of extra energy. With bananas, cocoa powder, almond butter, and pea protein, this one can help kick that tired spell to the curb.

Joanie Frieden's mission to help customers create a healthy, sustainable, active lifestyle drives Daily Juice Cafe. Original to Austin, this smoothie bar began in 2012 as Austin Skinny Limits. Several Daily Juice Cafes are now serving up acai bowls, juices, shots, smoothies, and soups. This smoothie bar proudly makes its offerings with no purees, sugars, or ice.

Daily Juice Cafe has several locations, including one in Plaza de las Lomas, another in Far West/Northwest Hills, and one in the Shops At The Galleria. No matter your location, Daily Juicers will warmly welcome you with bright colors, plenty of green, wood-lined walls, and plenty of healthy encouragement for your day. You'll also find plenty of seating for you to make your selections and stay awhile.

The staff's favorite offering is the Subliminator. This smoothie is a blend of peanut butter, flax oil, spirulina, vanilla protein, and several fruits, including blueberries, cherries, bananas, and apples. With a mix of cacao powder, peanut butter, banana, protein powder, and pink salt, the Bridge smoothie will help you navigate the murky waters of your day. If you're looking for a vacation in a glass, give El Tropicado a try. This smoothie has avocado, mango, banana, pineapple, lime, and spinach with sea salt to add a little green to your life.

This smoothie bar has so much more to offer than smoothies, but those certainly stand out too. Kale Me Crazy prides itself as a superfood cafe, delivering meals to support its customers' healthy, energetic lifestyles. The founder and CEO of Kale Me Crazy, Roi Shlomo, opened the first store in 2013, and its demand hasn't dwindled.

Except for one offering, all smoothies from Kale Me Crazy are vegan. Though it offers many delicious options, the Power House packs quite a punch with a delightful blend of fruits, cashews, flax seed, almond milk, and vegan protein. Just sweet enough, it's sure to give you the punch you need to power through your day. Try out the Super Matcha if you're looking for a green tea fix. This blend of matcha green tea, banana, blueberries, spinach, chia, agave, and almond milk may make you a regular customer.

This smoothie spot is dedicated to bringing customers the absolute freshest ingredients possible. Jugo works with local farms to bring regionally grown and sourced ingredients to its shops. If Jugo has produce that it does not use, it composts the excess and returns it to agriculture providers. To ensure that recipes have as minimal a footprint as possible, it carefully creates recipes using seasonal and local ingredients, so the menu sees some rotation throughout the year.

You'll find Jugo in downtown Austin, and you'll know you've made it when you spot the bright pink (and oh so Instagramable) neon sign. With wooden floors, roughly painted brick, and visible pipes and tubing, Jugo is picturesque from every angle. This space is cool and relaxed. You'll love looking around and checking out all the healthful treats it offers in old-fashioned glass candy jars.

Jugo offers juice, smoothies, food, coffee, and tea, with quite a range of smoothies to choose from. Give the banana, peanut butter, cocoa, date, and coffee smoothie a go if you love the taste of peanut butter. Between the nuttiness of the peanut butter and the little perk of coffee, be warned that this may become a favorite morning tradition. Not to mention, with the protein from the peanut butter and date, this one will probably fill you right up. 

This smoothie stop started with a craving. In 2010, Kara Jordan and Erin Thompson moved from Hawaii to Austin, and though they loved their new city, they missed their beloved açaí bowls from Hawaii. Soon, they created Blenders and Bowls with a food truck concept and began selling smoothies. Sure enough, the brand's turquoise accents, reminiscent of Pacific waters, started a popular trend. The lush vibe of the company called in fresh eaters, and ten years later, Blenders and Bowls has opened five stores. Its products are now even in grocery stores around the country.

You'll find three different locations throughout Austin: Westlake, Eastside, and North Lamar. These smoothie bars offer plenty of seating with a very natural aesthetic of white walls, concrete floors, modern seating, basket lamps, greenery, and eclectic pillows.

Blenders and Bowls offer 12 varieties of smoothies. The magenta pink Power Potion smoothie brings all the goodness of bananas, pineapple, and peanut butter, then packs it with dragon fruit, vanilla, protein, and vanilla almond milk. If you're hoping for even more of a fruity option, look no further than the Go Mango smoothie with banana, mango, and guava juice. The Founders Fave smoothie with strawberry, banana, açaí, and apple juice may just be your favorite too. If you follow a vegan diet or want to avoid dairy, you'll be happy to learn that all Blenders and Bowls smoothies are vegan with dairy-free milk.
